About the Artist

John Hobbie

I am a professional artist and designer with 20+ years experience in the entertainment industry. I began on the ground floor as a scenic painter/carpenter in a Dallas scene shop to where I now work at Walt Disney Imagineering in Hong Kong. I have taught art and design both at secondary school and college. I am a member of United Scenic Artists of America, Local 829 NYC designing from New York to Philadelphia and Dallas. In 2004 I was awarded the Outstanding Creative Contribution to Set Design, 2005 by the Dallas/Ft. Worth Critic’s Choice Forum. And for a brief period I was a salad chef and roughnecked offshore.
